l l l To l whom it 'may concern: it known that we, THnoDoR'n A. WIL- LIAnsoN and Cr-rARLns A. RICHARDSON, of Allegheny city, in the county of Allegheny and` State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Combined Rolling-Pin, i Steph-Hacker, Src. 5. and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, ref rence being had to the accompanying dr wings, forming a part ot this specication, i1 Which- Figu 7 l is a side view of our improved aplitratustwhen arranged as a rolling-pin.

ig. I isa view of the same when arranged as a beefsteak-hacker. Fig. 5 is a side view of the same when arranged as a beetle. Fig. 6 is an end yiew of the butter-print.

Similar` Illetters of reference indicate like parts.

Our invention' consists in a combined rolling-pin, steak-hacker, grater, beetle, and butter-print, the parts being constructed and arranged aiihereinafter more fully described.

A is tite steak-hacker, which is formed by cuttinglongitudinally through the center of the handle B and through the center of the roller CS to near the other end of said roller. The cutlthen turns at right angles and passes ont thriaugh the side of said roller C, as shown in Fig.2.

To the inner flat surface of the hacker A, near its square end,is attached awedge-shaped block, c, to the face ot' which is securely attached metallic plate, a2, the face of which is groomer, so as to form projecting teeth.

The dbject of the wedgeshaped block al is to bringvthe plate a2 into such a position that the hacker A may be conveniently used for pounding the beetl or other steak to make it tender; but, if desired, the plate a2 may be attached directly to the main part of the said hacker. The tlat surface of the roller C, from which the hackerAis cut, is notched or chambered for the reception of the block a and toothed-plate a2, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 5 and the other end of said iiat surface is also notched for the reception of the grater-plate dl of the grater D, which is secured in place by the hooked pins d2. By turning these hooks or pins d2, the grater-plate d1 may be removed and replaced with a coax-ser or finer one, according to the character of the material to be grated.

The chamber in which the grater-plate d1 is placed is made a little longer than said graterplate, so that the grated material may pass out around its end, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

The hacker A is held in its proper relative position by the doweling-pins E, and secured in place by the pin F, passing in through the end of the part b1 of the handle B, and through the eye or staple G, secured to the part b2 or' said handle, and tittin g into a notch formed in the said part b1, as shown in Fig. 2.

To the end of the graterD is attached a circular plate, H, having a screw-thread cut around its outer edge. This plate I-I is secured in place by screws It', passing through the said plate and screwing into the end of the grater D, as shown in Fig. 2.

The handle I is detachable, and has the surface of its inner end carved,as shown in Figs. 2 and 6. It has also a metallic band, J, passing around it, which is secured in place by screws t', passing through the flange j of the band J, and screwing into the wooden iiange or inner end of the handle I. The band J has a screw-thread out upon its inner surface, itting into the screw-thread cut upon the edge of the plate H, as before described. The detachable handle I forms a convenient butterprint, the carving upon the face of which may be made of any desirable pattern.

When all the parts of the apparatus are,

attached to each other,as shown in Fig. l, it becomes a rollin g-pin, capable of being used in the same manner and for the same purposes as an ordinary rolling-pin. When the handle I is removed it becomes a butter-print, as shown in Fig. 6, and the remaining parts be-v come a beetle or vegetable-masher, capable of being used for mashing vegetables and other similar purposes, as shown in Fig. 5. When still farther separated the part D becomes a grater, capable of being used for grating nut- 2. The combination, with the rolling-pin,"otr'i a beetle, grater, and steak-hacker, ull-.ferme structed and arranged in the the purpose specified.

manner and for.
